#i'm plaid and radio talk show host

[dontcallpanic]

I'm very intrigued to hear more about Escape to the country and Wichita Lineman!

oh! Thank you! Escape to the country is my favourite! It's the one I've written the most for. This is my small strange town AU where Stiles leaves collage wondering what the hell he's supposed to be doing with his life. What do you do when you can do anything? What do you do when every day is supposed to be precious. How do you live when you could be dead?

So, he takes a roadtrip and runs head first into Beacon Hills, a deeply strange town in the deep dark forest. He's especially intrigued by the Extremely Attractive hermit who lives in a cabin deep in the woods. Oh and what's with those weird red eyes that seem to be following him around? Cue strange creepy dreams, weird hotels, the wolves are the guardians of the forest, skeletons in trees, oh no there's only one bed, lots of plaid, lots of myths and skulls and hopefully lots of humour.

The Wichita Lineman is the au I can't get out of my head inspired tangentially by the song by Glen Campbell.

It's set in a post apocalyptic universe similar to fallout. It's about Derek who is essentially like a telecoms engineer for hire who goes around setting up radio communications between settlements. It's extremely dangerous but someone's got to do it. He works completely alone and all he has for company is Stiles - the enigmatic radio show host, who talks continuosly but never discloses a thing about himself. He is a legend and a mystery. Nobody knows who he is or even where he is. He just IS.

Derek has lost count of the number of hours he's spent listening to him through his truck radio. Whenever he sets up a new relay, he will tune the station to Stiles. He essentially falls in love with Stiles, listening to him through the radio, longing (secretly) to one day be able to meet him, piecing together tiny gems of information about him over the years.

Stiles, for his part, has of course heard of the extremely heroic 'lineman' who risks everything to get settlements radio communication up and running. He appreciates just how integral that is to the survival of humanity and if he's being honest, he's slightly in love, just in principle, that someone would risk their life to further spread those radio waves.

Inspired by the lyrics:

"And I need you more than I want you. And I want you for all time.

And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line."
